Robert Yelle's The Semiotics of Religion makes important contributions on two fronts. First, it offers powerful and compelling analyses of a considerable range of religious phenomena. Second, it advances significant theoretical and meta-theoretical frameworks that underpin those analyses. The theoretical framework is semiotic in its broad outlines, but the meta-theoretical one is more pragmatically oriented: i.e., don't be dogmatically committed to any particular theoretical doctrine, but rather use whatever resources help to shed more light on the subject matter. Despite that meta-theoretical positioning, several of Yelle's analyses remain stubbornly committed to a set of core doctrines that limit the extent of his investigations and lead to questions about the persuasiveness of certain details of his analyses. In other words, Yelle does not always follow his own meta-theoretical recommendations. The author diagnoses the source of those limiting assumptions and suggests some perspectives from within the philosophy of language more generally that might potentially serve to bring his method closer to his meta-theoretical ideals. 相似文献

Contemporary accounts of logic and language cannot give proper treatments of plural constructions of natural languages. They
assume that plural constructions are redundant devices used to abbreviate singular constructions. This paper and its sequel,
“The logic and meaning of plurals, II”, aim to develop an account of logic and language that acknowledges limitations of singular
constructions and recognizes plural constructions as their peers. To do so, the papers present natural accounts of the logic
and meaning of plural constructions that result from the view that plural constructions are, by and large, devices for talking
about many things (as such). The account of logic presented in the papers surpasses contemporary Fregean accounts in its scope.
This extension of the scope of logic results from extending the range of languages that logic can directly relate to. Underlying
the view of language that makes room for this is a perspective on reality that locates in the world what plural constructions
can relate to. The papers suggest that reflections on plural constructions point to a broader framework for understanding
logic, language, and reality that can replace the contemporary Fregean framework as this has replaced its Aristotelian ancestor. 相似文献

The Logic and Meaning of Plurals. Part II 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Byeong-uk Yi 《Journal of Philosophical Logic》2006,35(3):239-288
In this sequel to “The logic and meaning of plurals. Part I”, I continue to present an account of logic and language that
acknowledges limitations of singular constructions of natural languages and recognizes plural constructions as their peers.
To this end, I present a non-reductive account of plural constructions that results from the conception of plurals as devices
for talking about the many. In this paper, I give an informal semantics of plurals, formulate a formal characterization of
truth for the regimented languages that results from augmenting elementary languages with refinements of basic plural constructions
of natural languages, and account for the logic of plural constructions by characterizing the logic of those regimented languages.
